Today i had Sarah my barefoot trimmer come to trim Spices hooves and overall i think she was fairly pleased. She agreed that the lameness (present before) had subsided and that apart from a few small cracks her hooves were looking in pretty good shape. So, all being well i should be able to ride her in the arena this weekend. :) She warned me against riding out on roads unprotected whilst the sole in her hind hoof thickens up but said that she thought she would be fine in hoof boots.
The only thing she mentioned was the 'clicking noise' from Spices back legs which first began back in February when she was lame and stiff from her abscess so i might get that checked out since it seems to be 'on' and 'off'.
Spice was also a complete angel for the barefoot trimmer today she stood so still almost as though she thought she was having a pedicure so i was really pleased with her. She did however give Pie a boot for attempting to eat what she thought should be her carrot so i wasn't best pleased with her then. Hopefully Pie will be o.k. although he did look slightly sore afterward.
